Question
From the given statement form the equations2 cupcakes and 5 brownies costs 40. Eric bought 2 cupcakes and 2 brownies for 16.
Solution
From the given statement, we can form two equations.
Let's denote the cost of a cupcake as 'c' and the cost of a brownie as 'b'.
From the first part of the statement, "2 cupcakes and 5 brownies costs 40", we can form the equation:
2c + 5b = 40
From the second part of the statement, "Eric bought 2 cupcakes and 2 brownies for 16", we can form the equation:
2c + 2b = 16
So, the two equations are:
2c + 5b = 40 2c + 2b = 16
